Searching for God

Quick Links

Everyone who is going to Heaven can share a personal story with you about how it all happened. Unless a person has a memory disorder, they will vividly recall the moment they started for Heaven.

Some share stories about how they were cured from cancer or how they are recovering from an addiction. Others conduct seminars on how they became wealthy or how they survived the loss of a child or the break-up of their marriage.

The story christians love to tell the most is how they became a christian. There are always three parts to a Christian's story:

1) What life was like without Christ; 2) How they found Christ; and 3) What Christ has done for them.

The stories are as different as the people are themselves – but the common point of every Christian's story is a moment of personal faith in JESUS CHRIST. Without such a personal, precious and precise moment a person can not go to Heaven.

Personal Testimonies

I was born and raised in North York, but I now live in Scarborough where my wife and I share the Gospel in the Chinese community. After completing my degree in computer science at University of Waterloo, I worked at IBM developing their database product, DB2. However, I became convinced that God was calling me to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ full-time ...

I was born in a small town in Northern Ontario called Kapuskasing. My loving parents wanted what was best for me and my older brother. My family was nominally religious; we went to church during religious holidays but there was little thought of God in our everyday life. Both my parents had been actively religious when they were younger but were disillusioned with the emptiness of following rules and regulations. ...

“Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so,” are the words of one of the first songs I learned. From my earliest memories, I can recall hearing Bible choruses sung in Sunday School and at home. The Bible, a very special book that contains a message from God to us, was read every day in our home. ...

I was an atheist before I came to Canada. As with most Chinese people, in my opinion it was very stupid to believe someone that does not exist. I believed in myself. Although my mother was a Christian, I guessed that this was because she did not know evolution - but I knew. My parents, my sisters and brothers cared about me, and this was enough for me - I felt happy without God ...

Like many Chinese friends, I had no knowledge about God before I came to Canada. I was happy with my lifestyle. With the communist ideology in my deepest mind, I believed I could fight everything on my own. ...

People may be familiar with a Christian song, called Amazing Grace. When I first heard this song, I was not only impressed by its beautiful melody, but also by its lyric, since it expresses my sentiments, and also reminds me of my way of salvation. ...

My name is Lori Ronald and I live in Southern Alberta with my twelve-year-old daughter Ashley. My life changed dramatically when I learned she had a disease called Progeria. Another life changing event occurred 2 years ago when Jesus Christ saved me from sin and began a personal loving relationship with me. ...
